Air India SBI Platinum Card is one of the best credit cards for you, if you mostly choose to travel with Air India and  seek satisfactory rewards on a credit card. This credit card has a 2.25% rewards rate (5 points per Rs. 100 spent on Air India tickets, 1 reward point = 1 Airline mile = Rs. 0.45). As compared to other travel-centric credit cards, this rewards rate is pretty great. Additionally, relative to most travel cards, the card charges a lower annual fee (Rs. 1,500).

A nice collection of discounts are also available on the card, which will further cover the annual charge. In addition, the card provides 8 annual domestic lounge trips. However, the 0.90% rewards rate (2 points per Rs. 100, 1 Incentive Point = 1 Airline Mile = Rs. 0.45) on general spending, is below the industry average. The Air India SBI Platinum Card is not the best travel card, but it is also a solid choice for a special low-fee Air India card.
